What our people say
Kitty, Business Development Officer:
“What was your route into your current job? I graduated with an English Literature degree in 2019 and started out as an Editorial Assistant in publishing. Furloughed during the pandemic, I took the opportunity to complete a master’s in English Literature before moving into medical communications, where I also worked as an Editorial Assistant. While I enjoyed the work, I wanted a role that allowed me to get more involved in the research and writing, which led me to join CGL as an Assistant Business Development Officer in 2023. After gaining bid writing experience, I started as Business Development Officer in 2024.
What are your favourite parts of the job? I love how varied the job is. One day I might be deep in research, whether that’s desk-based or visiting a service in person, while the next I’m writing and editing responses for a live bid or even creating visuals. No two days are the same, and variety keeps the job exciting.
How would you describe the team? The team is incredibly lovely and supportive. There’s always someone ready to offer help, share advice, or even just have a quick chat, which makes it a really positive and collaborative environment to work in.
What were your highlights from last year? Being part of the team that won the Blackpool contract. We all invested a lot of time and effort into it, and the whole organisation was excited by the outcome.
Is there anything you would say to someone considering applying? Go for it! It’s a fantastic role within a supportive, friendly team, and there’s so much variety and opportunity to learn. If you’re considering applying, you won’t regret it.”
Holly, who progressed from Business Development Officer to Senior Business Development Officer last year:
“What are your favourite parts of this work? The amount we learn from bid to bid. No two services are the same and I’m constantly coming across amazing individuals, teams and interventions. Being part of a team that helps share and celebrate great work, and support other services to implement new and exciting initiatives is really rewarding.
How would you describe the team? Helpful, real and full of knowledge. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and is happy to share their skills, knowledge and learning. I’ve never felt like I’ve asked a silly question, and I don’t feel like I must put a on ‘work mask’.
What were your highlights from last year? Becoming a Senior and working across 7 different bids or direct awards last year. It was busy but I learnt so much, made some great connections with people across the organisation and feel excited for 2026.”

Job description
Stella Maris is the official maritime charity of the Catholic Church. We are looking for a Regional Port Chaplain for the East Englia Ports to support seafarers, fishers and their families.
In this unique and rewarding role, you'll be the welcoming face of Stella Maris in your region, visiting ships, listening to crew members, and offering practical, pastoral and spiritual support to anyone in need, regardless of faith or background.
About the role
No two days are the same. You might spend the morning visiting ships and listening to crew members' stories, help someone contact their family back home, support a seafarer in crisis, or offer a quiet moment of prayer on deck.
You'll also recruit and support a team of volunteers, work closely with other maritime charities and local partners, and build strong relationships with parishes, dioceses, and port authorities. You'll be part of a nationwide network of Stella Maris chaplains, supported through regular meetings, retreats and professional development opportunities.
Key responsibilities
- Visit ships regularly to meet seafarers and fishers, responding to their pastoral, practical and spiritual needs.
- Provide practical help such as transport, communication access, and emergency or crisis support.
- Offer spiritual care to Catholic seafarers and facilitate the religious needs of those from other faiths.
- Recruit, train and support Stella Maris volunteers.
- Work collaboratively with other maritime charities.
- Maintain strong relationships with local parishes, the Diocese of East Anglia, and port stakeholders such as the Harbour Master, shipping agents and welfare committees.
- Support local fundraising and awareness initiatives alongside the charity's national team.
About you
You'll be someone who takes joy in helping others. You don't need maritime experiences, what matters most is your empathy and ability to offer pastoral support in practical ways.
You may come from a background in chaplaincy, parish ministry, community work or social care. You'll share our commitment to upholding the dignity of every seafarer and fisher.
We improve the lives of seafarers and fishers through our network of local chaplains and seafarer centres, expert information, advocacy, and support.

We’re an award-winning charity running local learning centres in the heart of the communities where the young people we support live.

The Adult and Family Learning team will work in close collaboration with colleagues at the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The pilot will focus on supporting the parents, carers and families of young people accessing the centres, with the potential for this to extend to wider adults in the community. As a Project Worker you will deliver the programme and support the Adult and Family Learning Manager to plan and develop activities tailored according to and with an understanding of the different communities in which it will be offered.

Salary: £55,000 - £57,000 dependent on experience

Are you a dynamic and experienced leader passionate about strengthening the voluntary and community sector? Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service (NCVS) is seeking a visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead our dedicated team and drive our mission forward.
Established in 1875, our fundamental aim is to enhance the quality of life for people in Nottingham by bolstering the voluntary and community sector.

About the role
As Chief Executive Officer, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for NCVS, working closely with the Board of Trustees to deliver the organisation’s vision, ensure long-term sustainability and maximise our impact across the city.
You will lead a committed team, oversee the development of our programmes and services, and act as NCVS’ principal ambassador – building strong relationships with partners, funders and networks locally, regionally and nationally. A key part of the role will be securing income, championing the VCSE sector, and ensuring NCVS continues to respond effectively to the changing needs of communities and organisations in Nottingham.
This is a broad, influential role suited to a leader who is equally comfortable setting strategy, representing the organisation at senior levels, and rolling up their sleeves when needed.
What you’ll be responsible for
• Providing clear strategic leadership and direction for NCVS, translating vision into delivery
• Ensuring the organisation’s long-term financial stability through income generation, grants and partnerships
• Leading and developing the senior team, fostering a collaborative, values-led culture
• Working with Trustees to maintain strong governance, performance management and accountability
• Representing NCVS externally and strengthening our profile with funders, partners and decision-makers
• Championing the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector through advocacy, collaboration and engagement
• Overseeing budgets, resources and organisational infrastructure to support effective delivery
What we’re looking for
You will be an experienced senior leader, ideally from the voluntary or community sector, with a strong understanding of how local infrastructure organisations support communities and volunteering in Nottingham/Nottinghamshire.
You’ll bring a track record of developing strategy, securing funding and building effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll be confident influencing at senior levels, while remaining approachable, hands-on and values driven.
You’ll also bring:
• Strong financial and organisational management capability
• Experience leading, coaching and motivating teams
• Insight into the policy, funding and partnership landscape affecting the VCSE sector
• A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to lead change
• Flexibility to work across Nottingham and occasionally outside standard office hours. The Chief Executive Officer is expected to attend in-person meetings in and around Nottingham 1 to 3 days a week, on average.
Why join NCVS?
This is a rare opportunity to lead a respected, long-established organisation at the heart of Nottingham’s voluntary and community sector. You’ll have the chance to shape strategy, influence decision-making, and make a tangible difference to communities across the city.
